The coldest large city perhaps, but I doubt it's as cold as some of the real northern cities like Iqaluit or Yellowknife.
I got curious so I popped onto the Weather Network site to see the normal temps for these three cities in January and February. Winnipeg isn't even close to being as cold as the other two.
Winnipeg's average temps in January are high of -12C, low of -23C, for February it's a high of -9 and low of -20.
For Iqaluit, Nunavet, the average high in January is -21c, average low is -29C. For Feb it's a high of -22, low of -30.
For Yellowknife, it's even colder. For January the average high is -23C, average low is -31C. In February it's a high of -19C, and low of -28C.
I much prefer it here in Toronto, where the average high in January is -1C, average low is -10C. (not as good as Vancouver though, where the average high in January is 6C!)
